The Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases: Spring 2009

Welcome once again to the Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases, our seasonal guide to upcoming releases! Four times a year, we round up a big ol' list of albums, singles, EPs, and DVDs set to be unleashed over the coming months, hoping to get you pumped about going out and buying records. (You do still do that, right? RIGHT?) This installment covers Spring 2009.

Compiling such a list isn't easy in this day and age, with different release dates for digital and physical versions of albums, as well as different release dates for different countries. So we tried to stick with U.S. physical release dates as much as possible, with exceptions as noted. Keep in mind that release dates are as slippery as a Bon Jovi albumÂ cover, and any one of these is subject to change at any moment.
